Free Video Tutorials For Remote Learning In Math

3-5· 6-8

When children are learning remotely, it is extremely important for them to be able to make sense of the math.  The free lesson below includes video tutorials that take children step-by-step through the process of solving each and every problem.  I have been using these free books within my classroom for quite some time.  My students love the math, and truly benefit from the video tutorials for remote learning like the ones in this post.

Do children learn from their mistakes?

Definitely!  I encourage my students to take risks, and challenge themselves.  Often their first attempts at solving any given problem results with a mistake or two.  If I simply circle their mistake and put a grade at the top of their page, my students learn very slowly.  However, I have my student follow three simple steps.  First, they watch the video tutorial that accompanies each problem.  Next, if they made a mistake, they find their own mistake.  Finally, they use the video to help them fix their own mistake.  This process solidifies the learning and ensures that they learn from their mistakes.

Here is a sample question and video tutorial from this free booklet:

You have 3/5 of a serving of fries.  You eat 2/3’s of it before you get full and offer the rest to your mom.
How much did you eat of the 3/5 of fries?

  1.  Complete the algorithm
  2. Create a mathematical model
  3. Make sure your algorithm agrees with your mathematical model.

*Hint: What’s 2/3 of 3/5?

I'm Brian McCoy.

I am a former collegiate gymnast
I became enthralled with the sport of gymnastics when I was in elementary school. As far as I was concerned, gymnastics was the next best thing to living the life of Tarzan, swinging from tree to tree and doing battle with the wildest of animals. As time past and my skills improved, I became a highly ranked gymnast. It was the one thing that gave me a sense of accomplishment. Where school made me feel insecure because of my dyslexia, gymnastics gave me a self-confidence. It was my driving force for attending college. Gymnastics also taught me many things about being a teacher. First and foremost, anything can be accomplished provided you learn the proper progressions. Second, children excel most quickly when they are motivated with positive reinforcement. And finally, all children can succeed.

I'm a teacher.
I currently teach 6th grade in Northern California. My calling in life is to help children learn the essential skills necessary to have a successful academic career. As a student, I struggled with the learning disability of dyslexia (still do). This has had a dramatic effect on my philosophy of education. I know how it feels to be intelligent, yet feel dumb because you are struggling to understand a concept. All children are intelligent. Some children have gaps in their learning due to a wide range of challenges and/or learning disabilities. However, All children learn at a deeper level when the content is presented in a manner that shows the solution and explains why that solution solves the problem at hand. This is why I am an advocate of mathematical models.
As a teacher, my mission is to all children excel.
